  • It has been known since the mid 1960s that Ag can be photodissolved in chalcogenide glasses to form materials with interesting technological properties. In the 40 years since, this effect has been used in diverse applications such as the fabrication of relief images in optical elements, micro photolithographic schemes, and for direct imaging by photoinduced Ag surface deposition. ReRAM, also known as conductive bridging RAM (CBRAM), is a resistive switching memory based on non-volatile formation and dissolution of a conductive filament in a solid electrolyte. Especially, Ag-doped chalcogenide glasses and thin films have become attractive materials for fundamental research of their structure, properties, and preparation. Ag-doped chalcogenide glasses have been used in the formation of solid electrolyte which is the active medium in ReRAM devices. In this paper, we investigated the nature of thin films formed by the photo-dissolution of Ag into Ge-Se glasses for use in ReRAM devices. These devices rely on ion transport in the film so produced to create electrically programmable resistance states [1-3]. We have demonstrated functionalities of Ag doped chalcogenide glasses based on their capabilities as solid electrolytes. Formation of such amorphous systems by the introduction of Ag+ ions photo-induced diffusion in thin chalcogenide films is considered. The influence of Ag+ ions is regarded in terms of diffusion kinetics and Ag saturation is related to the composition of the hosting material. Saturated Ag+ ions have been used in the formation of conductive filaments at the solid electrolyte which is the active medium in ReRAM devices. Following fabrication, the cell displays a metal-insulator-metal structure. We measured the I-V characteristics of a cell, similar results were obtained with different via sizes, due to the filamentary nature of resistance switching in ReRAM cell. As the voltage is swept from 0 V to a positive top electrode voltage, the device switches from a high resistive to a low resistive, or set. The low conducting, or reset, state can be restored by means of a negative voltage sweep where the switch-off of the device usually occurs.

  • 고상 확산 방법을 이용하여 얕은 소스/드레인 접합을 가지는 SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) MOSFET 소자를 제작하였다. 확산원으로는 PSG(Phosphorus silicate glass) 박막과 PBF(Poly Boron Film) 박막이 각각 n, p-type 소자 형성을 위해 사용되었다. 얕은 접합 형성을 위하여 급속 열처리 방법(RTA: Rapid Thermal Annealing)을 이용하여 PSG와 PBF로부터 인과 붕소를 SOI MOSFET 소자의 소스/드레인으로 확산시켰다. 또한, 소자 특성 개선을 위한 후 속 열처리 공정으로 희석된 수소 분위기 중에서 FA(Furnace Annealing)를 실시하였다. SPD 기술을 적용하여 10 nm 이하의 매우 얕은 p-n 접합을 형성할 수 있었고, 양호한 다이오드 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, SPD 방법으로 결함이 없는 접합 형성이 가능하며, 소자 제작 공정의 최적화를 통해 차세대 CMOS 소자로 기대되는 SOI MOSFET를 성공적으로 제작할 수 있었다.

  • Recently diagnostic techniques have been investigated to detect a partial discharge(PD) associated with a dielectric material defect in a high-voltage electrical apparatus. Among the PD measuring method, detecting electromagnetic wave generated by PD is one of the most effective method because PD radiates wide frequency of electromagnetic wave up to UHF. From the above points of view, we have investigated the polarization and distance characteristics of electromagnetic wave radiated by an insertion of solid insulators between needle-plane electrodes in the air. According to the magnitude of applied voltage, the frequency spectrum of radiated electromagnetic waves were increased about under 100(MHz), compared with background noise. The electromagnetic wave magnitude is attenuated about 4$\sim$7.6[dB] at the point 3[m] away from PD.

  • The polymer nanocomposite as a gate dielectric film was prepared via sol-gel method. The formation of crosslinked structure among nanofillers and polymer matrix was proved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Differential thermal analysis (DTA) results showed significant increase in the thermal stability of the nanocomposite with respect to that of pure polymer. The nanocomposite films deposited on the p- and n-type Si substrates formed very smooth surface with rms roughness of 0.045 and 0.058 nm respectively. Deconvoluted $Si_{2s}$ spectra revealed the domination of the Si-OH hydrogen bonds and Si-O-Si covalence bonds in the structure of the nanocomposite film deposited on the p- and n-type Si semiconductor layers respectively. The fabricated n-channel field-effect-transistor (FET) showed the low threshold voltage and leakage currents because of the stronger connection between the nanocomposite and n-type Si substrate. Whereas, dominated hydroxyl groups in the nanocomposite dielectric film deposited on the p-type Si substrate increased trap states in the interface, led to the drop of FET operation.

  • The contents of this paper are the effects of heat treatment on the breakdown strength of Amber Mica. In this study the breakdown strength of Amber Mica of which thickness is about 0.2-0.5(mm) was found to be raised by approximately 10% when it is heat treated at proper temperature and during suitable interval of time. Furthermore, both the heat-treatment temperature and time interval are higher and longer respectively within some extent, the more breakdown strength increasing effects are able to be expected. The results of this experiments are explained qualitively by the existence of contained gas, Hippel's breakdown theory in crystal solid insulator, and disorder of crystal structure.

  • In this paper, neural networks is studied to apply as a PD source classification in XLPE power cable specimen. Two learning schemes are used to classification; BP(Back propagation algorithm), SOM(self organized map - kohonen network). As a PD source, using treeing discharge sources in the specimen, three defected models are made. And these data making use of a computer-aided discharge analyser, statistical and other discharge parameters is calculated to discrimination between different models of discharge sources. And a]so these distribution characteristics are applied to classify PD sources by two scheme of the neural networks. In conclusion, recognition efficiency of BP is superior to SOM.
